Thank you for visiting our site. It is currently being updated for the first time in a year, so much of what you see over the next weeks will be new. St. Francis Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing rescue, sanctuary and adoption services for homeless cats and dogs in Western New York. One of our primary goals is the establishment of a no-kill sanctuary where cats and dogs who are not adoptable through ordinary channels can be spayed or neutered, receive veterinary care and rehabilitation, and live out happy, comfortable lives. Homeless animals receive complete physical and social rehabilitation through St. Francis Animal Sanctuary. We strongly believe that every animal's life is valuable and should be preserved whenever possible. Our group is 100% volunteer and uses 100% of our funds for the care of these animals in our shelter and foster homes.
